Yeah, on it's own it's dumb, but not a sackable offence. Though it does seem to be the latest in a long stream of idiocy.

It's not the first time there have been calls to fire her either. The last time was because she declared support for Trump and his election-theft bollocks, though I don't agree an actor should be fired for that.

god she posts so much dumb shit. has to have brain damage or something

Why? Seemed fitting for the world the show presents.

Purely on an aesthetic level because obviously none of the characters have any depth. She looks like she should be in Battlestar Galactica or Blake's 7. Ruined the series for me.

Even the episodes she wasn't in.

This is the particularly bad bit ' How is (hating Jews) any different from hating someone for their political views'

What if someone's political views stems from their ethnic background? Is that similar. Fuck knows. Best not to even talk about Jews anyway.

Dude, I've got something to tell you about the actress who plays Bo-Katan, Katee Sackhoff...

She fucking hates Jews. Bo-Katan, not the actress. I mean Jawas.

And there was that explicit rant she went off on, spouting the n-word[nb]n*rf*-h*rd*r[/nb] left, right and centre.

Say what you want about the Empire but they are equal opportunity employers and they don't tolerate racial, sexual or robotical epithets in the workplace.

Are they still making Left Behind films? She could be in one of those.

Famous Mortimer

To throw away what could be a huge place in one of the biggest IPs of all time just so she could spew uninformed crap on Twitter? That's impressive (ly stupid).

But also, if you think about it, very Trumpian.

Quite admirable actually, its a shame almost nobody puts their ideology above making money. If only people who had good views risked their payday.

Apparently she was getting a spin-off. Not any more!

Delighted Disney acted so swiftly in dealing with this!

Isnt it calledl Marshals of the New Republic or something like that? tends to suggest it wasn't just going to be based around just her as the other series all have a characters name in them.

To be a bit more cynical you could say giving her the chop now suits Disney best, right now they just lose a supporting character who didnt need to be included again anyway and that show can be re rigged to include a new character.

She's been given several chances to cut this out and Disney just realised she was always going to be a liability in the future if they stuck with her.

Looks like she's teaming up with Ben Shapiro to make movies, so it's not all bad.



Cameron only has 4 followers, but Barrington seems to know him well enough.

It's true - Disney fired cancelled her solely because she played a successful character, correctly performing scripted dialogue for the entertainment of their lucrative subscription base. Crazy, but that's why they did it. They have a list of profitable characters and they're going to get rid of them one by one.

First they came for the Star Wars spin-off side characters, and I did not speak out because I was Mickey Mouse.

Quote"Gina Carano is teaming up with The Daily Wire, a right-wing website, to develop, produce, and star in an upcoming film. Though specifics are scarce, the film will be released exclusively to that site's members."

Hahaha.  From a flagship Disney+ series to... this.

Eh at least its a job which aligns with her ideals.

Difficult to calculate exactly how much sub-Left Behind film this is.
